However if the connection is not alive it still throws a warning: mysql_ping(): 8 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource Which is obvious, because thats why you use this function... Test script: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $rConnection = mysql_connect("host", "user", "pass") or die("Could not connect"); sleep(60); if (false === mysql_ping($rConnection)) { echo "Connection gone"; } else { echo "Connection alive"; } Expected result: ---------------- Connection gone Actual result: -------------- mysql_ping(): 8 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource Connection gone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55741&edit=1
